🎉 We're excited to welcome Luke Haggerty of the Minnesota Corn (Growers Association) to the Fishers & Farmers Partnership Steering Committee!

Luke's work with MN Corn focuses on connecting farmers, research, and conservation, and as a lifelong angler, he understands the importance of protecting the lakes and streams we all enjoy. He believes healthy farms and healthy fisheries go hand in hand, and we're excited to have his perspective and leadership at the table.

Please join us in welcoming Luke to FFP! 🌽🎣💧
